new vid with @MorePerfectUS.
NEW: 17,000 AT&T workers across the South have launched a huge strike. They’re fuming that wire techs are paid & treated worse than other employees. A top exec recently called them “second-class.”. Now workers are striking to demand a raise and an end to the two-tiered contract.

Shot another piece for @MorePerfectUS this time about Delta baggage workers trying to start a new union!.
Delta is a disaster. Consumers are stranded, flights are in disarray, and Pete Buttigieg has opened an investigation into the airline. Passengers aren’t the only ones struggling. Workers are too. Delta baggage handlers are trying to unionize America’s largest non-union airline.

excited to share this short doc ‘A Day of Inconvenience’ that I directed with @atlanta_press .We were Tucson, AZ for a week covering the Nationwide Cop City Summit, spending the last day filming a non-violent direct action in the mountains targeting an executive of @Nationwide.
On Feb. 26 during a Stop Cop City summit in Arizona, a group of activists locked down two entrances to a gated community in Maricopa County. I'm so excited to share this brilliant short documentary about that action: 'A Day of Inconvenience' by @LEVOMEL
